Dulcolax Suppositories (Bisacodyl), Which Is A Type Of Medicine Called A Stimulant Laxative.

Bisacodyl Works By Stimulating The Nerve Endings In The Walls Of The Large Bowel (Colon) And Rectum. This Makes The Muscles In The Bowel Wall Contract More Often And With Increased Force, Which Moves The Stools Through The Colon To The Rectum So That The Bowel Can Be Emptied.

Dulcolax Suppositories Melt In The Rectum, Releasing The Bisacodyl To Produce Its Effect On The Wall Of The Colon And Rectum. The Suppositories Start To Work In About 15 To 30 Minutes, So They Are Useful If You Want Fast Relief From Constipation. They Can Also Be Helpful For People Who Can’t Swallow Bisacodyl Tablets.

Dulcolax Pico Liquid (Sodium Picosulfate), Which Is A Type Of Medicine Known As A Stimulant Laxative.

Sodium Picosulfate Works By Stimulating The Nerve Endings In The Walls Of The Large Intestine (Colon) And Rectum. This Causes The Muscles In The Intestinal Wall To Contract More Often And With Increased Force. When These Muscles Contract (A Process Known As Peristalsis), This Moves The Contents Of The Intestine Through The Colon To The Rectum So That The Bowel Can Be Emptied. This Relieves Constipation.

The Sodium Picosulfate Is Activated By The Natural Bacteria That Are Found In The Colon, So It Does Not Start Working Until It Reaches This Part Of The Gut.

Dulcolax Pico Liquid Starts To Work Six To Twelve Hours After Taking A Dose. It Should Be Taken At Night To Produce Relief From Constipation The Following Morning.
